I think its fine for a six year old to watch. As others have suggested, everything might not be completely understandable but will probably be enjoyable nonetheless.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to monitor what you allow your kids to watch, etc. but here is a true cautionary tale. When I was growing up, my three cousins had a super nice, but strict Mom. She was very well intentioned and I know she was only doing what she thought was best for her kids. They were not allowed to watch anything from Disney or Nickelodeon, they couldn't watch anything unless it was religious themed and the same goes for music. Of course, in reality you can't shield your children from the rest of the world or they won't know how to get along in it. Fast forward to them growing up, and they went wild just trying to immerse themselves in all of the things they had been sheltered from growing up. They didn't know how to deal with issues like drugs, sex, and drinking so they fell into it. They also had problems relating with others.
I'm not saying you do anything to such an extreme - just that monitoring is good but you have to be realistic about what they are going to learn about from sources other than you and teaching them how to deal with that.
